1. Show that the collection
13 {[O,c)J 0<c 1}u{(d,1]|O<d< 1)
cannot be a base for the subspace topology [O, 1], where is the Euclidean topology on rt
Hint: Use contradiction, i.e., first assume that B is a base for [O, 1].
2. Let B {[a, b) x [c, d)Ia < b, : < d}. Show that B is a base for the product space (R x R, £ x £), where £ is the lower limit topology on 1?.
3. Let X. Y be spaces and f : X ?> Y a continuous surjcction. Prove that if X is P countable, so is Y.
4. Let X, Y he spaces and f : X ?> Y a continuous surjection. Prove that if X is compact, so is V.
3. Show that the union of finitely many compact subsets of a space is compact.
6. Let X be a compact space and V a Hausdorff space. Then show that f X ?> Y is a homomorphism if and only if f is bijeetive and continuous.
7. Let X be a Hausdorff space and P, Q disjoint compact subsets of X. Then show that there exist open sets U and V such that P C U, Q C V and U U V 0.
This property tells us that compact subsets of a Hausdorif space behaves like points.
8. Let X, Y be spaces arid f X ?> V a continuous surjection. Prove that if X is connected, so is V.

  • Co-Finite Topology

    Let X be a set and F is separating collection of functions f: X --> Y_f, each from X into a topological space Y_f. Prove that X with the weak topology by F is Hausdorff. 5.

  • subset of S is compact

    Show that S with this topology is compact, but S is not a Hausdorff space. Show that each subset of S is compact and that therefore there are compact subsets of S that are not closed.

  • Tychonoff and Hausdorff Spaces

    Also, X is compact, so f[X] is a compact subset of the Hausdorff space Y, so f[X] is closed. But in a connected space, the only non-empty closed-and-open set is Y. So f[X] = Y and f is surjective. Now, look at y in Y and the set f^{-1}[{y}].

  • Fixed set under continuous map on a compact Hausdorff space

    We also construct an example of a Hausdorff space X which is not compact for which there are no fixed sets, showing that the assumption on compactness is necessary. Please see attachment for properly formatted copy.

  • Boolean Ring Question

    But we already know that they form the basis of a topology. It remains to show that X is Hausdorff. Let M≠N, and consider r∈MN. Then N∈D_r and M∈D_(1-r) (since 1-r∉M, otherwise we would have 1∈M, which is impossible).
